I prefer having my front brake on the right lever; I like having the primary brake controlled by my dominant hand, and it's in the same place as the front brake on my motorbike too so helps build muscle memory. That said, when I rode for a Belgian team, all their bikes were set up the other way around and I got used to it very quickly. I just prefer it my way on my personal bike.

I like the fact that he geeked out even saving a gram on drilling the top cap bolt but didn’t compromise ride ability by installing 4 piston vs 2 piston calipers. 2 piston would be lighter but the extra power w 4 seems like it’s a necessity which is a smart choice matched with those rotors. And of coarse the tires being bigger/heavier no doubt makes for a much more fun and playful bike. Very smart build, sure it could be lighter but this is going to be way more fun as he built it imo.

“How practical is this bike?” The frame has a 90kg weight limit….. so after you’ve added all your bike packing bags, mudguards, bottles, lights, head unit, charging cables for the low capacity rear mech battery, and critical spares - even the most malnourished featherweight rider would need to undergo liposuction to safely ride it? Oh but wait a minute there’s a single bottle mount on the down tube, accessories ahoy! Don’t get me wrong it’s a cool bike, looks great I’d happily own it, buts it’s not a practical gravel bike. This would be an ideal weapon for hill climbing and racing I wouldn’t be comfortable or confident taking it on an adventure, plus it probably costs more than an average family car. Sorry for being a moaning myrtle GCN, great video as always! It’s great you can showcase kit we can all drool over meanwhile come to our own conclusions, it’s super nice but not the bike for me.

Well, quite a few riders were racing the Unbound on Crux. It’s not a do-it-all gravel bike for fully loaded bikepacking adventures and a heavy rider and was never supposed to be one. Similarly to like there is no road bike that would be the lightest, the most aero and also be the fastest on the TT race as well as a hill climb event.

Is anyone on the GCN team hard enough to test it? I noticed a massive difference in temp after shaving my head, but it might be just because I'm not as fit as you guys. Surely it would also be more aero through the helmet vents too.
